Chapter 331 - 331. Arrangements

But now, his arms and legs were too thin, and his strength was insufficient. He didn't dare let go of his grip to promote his medicine.

The common man is innocent, yet he bears the guilt of his possessions.

Since ancient times, the pharmaceutical industry has been the most profitable of all industries—without exception!

He wasn't strong enough yet, and he didn't dare to spread the drug across all of Westeros, or even throughout the Game of Thrones world on a large scale.

Because that would threaten the interests of others!

There was the Citadel, which monopolized medicine in Westeros, and in Essos, the followers of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, along with various other wizards who held dominion over healing.

Science and religion—these two forces were immense, and not something Jason Liu could afford to confront right now.

What he needed to do now was continue accumulating strength. When the day came that his wings were fully formed, that would be the moment he'd reveal his power.

By then, whether it was the Citadel or any religious followers—they'd all call him "Father" under the might of his iron fist!

Jason Liu selected Assistant Maester Morris and several other apprentices to accompany him to Lake Saylor as assistants.

After all, the task would involve massive organizational and management work, and he would need a great deal of manpower.

After some thought, Jason Liu said to Jon, who was standing next to him, "When the time comes, you and McCann will come with me to Lake Saylor and help manage the workers alongside Morris and the others.

Leave the lumber mill to Bud, with Marb and Qyburn assisting.

Remember to inform them of my arrangements once McCann, Bud, and Marb return."

Jon nodded reluctantly. "Yes, my lord. I'll let them know your orders."

"Maester Qyburn, when I take the team to Lake Saylor, you'll be in charge of the logging camp," Jason Liu said with a smile, looking at Qyburn, who sat to his left.

Qyburn's wrinkled face beamed with warmth. He bowed slightly and said gently, "Yes, my lord. I will take good care of this place.

If there are any ongoing experiments, I would very much like to join you in going to Lake Saylor.

Once the port is built, there will certainly be many injured people in need of treatment."

"Yes, Maester. On that note, I plan to bring Boris from the Winter Market Town, along with the maester and his assistants from the academy, to the other side of Lake Saylor."

As he spoke, Jason Liu gave an apologetic smile. "You understand—in order not to provoke the academy too much, I can't allow you to appear in front of Maester Adrian before they return south.

After all, I plan to recruit more assistant maesters and literate apprentices from them."

Maester Adrian shook his head with a kind smile. "I don't mind, my lord. As long as I can conduct my research in peace, I'm happy."

As expected of the top scientific tycoon in the world of Game of Thrones—the quality of his research was simply unmatched.

The Citadel was truly blind to have expelled someone so capable in medicine and mysticism.

Such outdated, monopolistic powers were clearly corrupt and resistant to change—it was high time they were overthrown.

Rather than lying stagnant in the institution that had monopolized knowledge in Westeros for thousands of years, it would be better to become its gravedigger.

As the thought passed through his mind, Jason Liu couldn't help but laugh.

That evening, Jason Liu walked alone into the warehouse at the logging camp where logs were stacked and transported 300,000 logs to Warehouse No. 1 in the modern world.

By the time the workers arrived at Lake Saylor, a massive supply of logs could be delivered to the modern warehouse.

In the coming days, the logging camp would need to speed up production and stockpile logs across several locations. That way, more could be shipped to the modern world warehouse, ensuring stable sales for the next two months.

Thinking this over, Jason Liu returned to the room Jon had prepared for him and went to sleep.

When Jason Liu returned to the small castle in the Winter Market Town, Lena told him that Joseth, the new steward of Winterfell, had visited and asked when he planned to move the workers from the lumber mill to Lake Saylor.

With more and more people gathering at the lumber mill, Lady Catelyn and Robb in Winterfell were understandably growing uneasy.

Though they weren't worried that the people would cause chaos, neither Catelyn nor Robb was comfortable with tens of thousands of people gathering just outside Winterfell. If anything went wrong, it could pose a threat to both Winterfell and the surrounding town.

Rulers were always most concerned about mass gatherings. Though the crowd consisted of unarmed civilians, the Starks—masters of the North—instinctively felt some unease.

Jason Liu nodded, unsurprised by their reaction. "I'll send Kent to Winterfell to explain to Lady Catelyn and Robb that I'll be taking most of the workers to Lake Saylor within a week. There's no need for them to worry."

"Alright, my lord. Just don't forget," Lena said with a smile, then added with a pleading tone, "When the time comes, I want to go with you to Lake Saylor. You'll be alone there and need someone to serve you. Please take me and Bella with you, my lord—I beg you!"

"Lord, take Sister Lena and me with you!" Bella chimed in, raising her face and looking at him pitifully.

Now twelve years old, Bella had received good nourishment over the past six months. Her once-thin frame had begun to fill out, her long golden hair was soft and glossy, and her round face was adorably cute.

"Don't you need to manage the store?" Jason Liu asked as he sat down at the table and took a sip from his cup.

Lena followed him and poured another glass of water. "We can leave the store to my sister Susan, Venisa, and the others. Barron and his men can help, too. There are soldiers stationed there—it's no problem at all."

Jason Liu thought it over. Lena was right.

After all, the task wasn't too complicated, and losing two people wouldn't make much difference.

So, he agreed to bring the two girls to Lake Saylor. But he still reminded them, "It won't be comfortable when we first arrive. Don't regret it later!"

"My lord, don't underestimate us. No matter how hard it is, it can't be worse than before you came over half a year ago," Lena said firmly.

Jason Liu couldn't argue with that.

Looking at Bella, who stood obediently beside her sister, he recalled how their life had once been even worse than Lena's—both orphaned and raised by her brother McCann.

Having decided to take the two of them to the other side of Lake Saylor, he then chased the excited and giddy Lena and Bella out of the bedroom. Lord Jason was going to sleep.

Over the next few days, Jason Liu stayed busy preparing all kinds of supplies.
